RE: c based external procedures vs. Java Stored Procedures

>so my question is, are there things you can do with external procedures that you cant do with java?

Yes there are, for instance, Java doesn't support raw socket, so if you ever need that
you will have to do it in C with external procedure. But what's the chance of anyone
is going to use such a thing, very little. In general though, you can do most of the
stuff in Java Stored Procedures.
